So yea... when the Lord calls you to do something, you do it. (I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands. - Psalm 119:60)
The problem with that - for me - is that when I'm called to do something that will cost money I revert back to those unhealthy attachments to money and begin to wonder how *I* will raise the money. No need to insert the "Lord will provide" lesson. Yep... totally know that. But old habits die hard.
To bring this in to full scope for you... We received the calling for this trip when I had a steady source of income. And then we learned that source is expected to end on May 1st. It is April 11th and I still don't know what our source of income will be on May 2nd. Talk about taking a girl out of her financial comfort zone!!
Because of the lack of any stable income we hesitated on committing to this trip. But... we only hesitated for a moment because then I recalled that the consequences of disobedience far outweigh the lack of steady income. Income, I might remind you, is from Him anyway!!! Annnnd, now we come full circle.
So now this leaves me wondering and waiting with great anticipation... is this mission trip for me or for someone I will encounter? hhhhmmmm.... kind of makes me want to stay tuned to my own blog to find out what types of things the Lord is going to show me!!
Until next time...

I am sure there will be days of doubt and stress about your finances, but overall I know you put your trust in the Lord. I know that He will bring you through this. I'm proud of your faithfulness in following Him even when you can't see what's around the bend.
Thank you!! You know me better than most! :)
